When configuring Secret Server to connect to an SMTP server, the server's availability can be verified through Telnet.
In the command prompt run the following : "telnet servername 25". servername being the SMTP server and 25 being the port Secret Server attempts to connect through. An example command might look like "telnet smtp.somesite.com 25".
If you are attempting to configure email notifications, and are running virus protection you may have to add a rule to allow aspnet_wp.exe to send e-mails.
